DC to DC (DCDC) converters convert a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. They are important in portable and non-portable electronic devices including, for example, cellular phones, laptop computers, industrial controls and wireless base stations. Such electronic systems often contain several sub-systems, each with its own voltage level requirement different from that supplied by a battery or external supply. In any circuit arrangement, noise arises from high speed data lines, fast clock edges or inductive magnetic coupling that may affect other circuitry. As circuits and their connections become more highly integrated either on dense printed circuit boards (PCBs) or in integrated circuits (ICs), noise becomes more problematic due to the close proximity of neighboring circuits and lines. In applications requiring high frequency circuits, problems associated with noise become even more pronounced. As demand for faster speeds and ever more highly integrated systems grows, noise has an increasing impact and becomes a limiting factor. These kinds of issues are prevalent in DCDC converters in which ever more precise voltages are needed with low output noise as load voltages are reduced to lower system power and fast signal transitions create a rich environment for noise related design problems.
